Did you know that The Rev. Dr. Simon LeSieur, minister at West Vancouver United Church, is also the President of the Pacific Mountain Regional Council?
In his address to the region he asks “you know what I need these days?” And his answer is “us.” “The encouragement of us; the strength of us; the joy of us; the goodness of the Spirit moving amongst us.”
Will, Julie, Allie, Colleen, Ardis and Simone will attend the Pacific Mountain Region’s annual meeting this weekend in which they will be part of the exploration of the theme “Cracked Open.”
In Executive Minister, Treena Duncan’s, address to the court, she talks about how we are in a time – as a church – of being cracked open and reshaped; and that “through the fractures, something precious is being revealed – something honest and holy, something courageous and deeply hopeful.”
The Highlands Affirm Team is leading worship this Sunday with Ken Irwin preaching. There is no doubt that through the courage, honesty, humility, inclusion, vibrancy and heart with which this service will be offered, everyone in person and online will be CRACKED OPEN …
Cracked open to see each other.
Cracked open to feel the Spirit move.
Cracked open to learn something new.
Cracked open to connect.
Cracked open to feel the immense love God has for each and every one of us.
Hallelujah!
